“As a self-proclaimed "maximalist" who always wants to do it all, this book challenged me and improved my life. ~Adam Grant, Wharton professor and bestselling author of Give and Take It has already changed the way that I think about my own priorities, and if more leaders embraced this philosophy, our jobs and our lives would be less stressful and more productive. “ Essentialism holds the keys to solving one of the great puzzles of life: how can we do less but accomplish more? A timely, essential read for anyone who feels overcommitted, overloaded, or overworked-in other words, everyone. Reid Hoffman, co-founder/chairman of LinkedIn and co-author of the #1 NYT bestseller “The Start-up of You” Essentialism offers concise and eloquent advice on how to determine what you care about most, and how to apply your energies in ways that ultimately bring you the greatest rewards.” To accomplish this, they have to be good at saying "no" to all their other ideas. “Entrepreneurs succeed when they say "yes" to the right project, at the right time, in the right way. Pink, author of TO SELL IS HUMAN and DRIVE He can’t tell you what’s essential to every life, but he can help you find the meaning in yours.” Greg McKeown believes the answer lies in paring life down to its essentials. Instead, you’re in danger of spreading your efforts so thin that you make no impact at all.
"Do you feel it, too? That relentless pressure to sample all the good things in life? To do all the 'right' things? The reality is, you don’t make progress that way. Essentialism is a movement whose time has come. It’s about doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Essentialism is not one more thing - it’s a whole new way of doing everything. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution towards the things that really matter.īy forcing us to apply a more selective criteria for what is Essential, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices about where to spend our precious time and energy - instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. It is not a time management strategy, or a productivity technique. It’s about getting only the right things done. The Way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time. Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin? Do you simultaneously feel overworked and underutilized? Are you often busy but not productive? Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked by other people’s agendas? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist.
